Austrian Peace Service

The Austrian Peace Service is one of the three sections of the non-profit organisation Austrian Service Abroad and offers a 6-12 months voluntary service at its partner institutions. Male Austrians may accredit their Austrian Peace Service as an alternative to the Austrian national or military service, provided their service abroad lasted a minimum of 10 months. Austrian Peace Servants are financially supported by the Austrian government.

General
Austrian Peace Servants are sent to partner institutions relating to peace and conflict research, peace education, reconciliation initiatives and the commemoration of atrocities other than the Holocaust.
